Abstract
The work package E was introduced as an addition to the “Urban Catchments”-project, in late 2016, more than one and a half year after its start. Its objective was to create a groundwater model to complete the hydraulic system which so far was limited to the urban and suburban regions around Chao Lake and the lake itself. The vast network of rivers, streams and ditches in combination with the domination of agricultural land use in the area around Chao Lake results in an inflow of nutrients and possibly other pollutants by surface water. But it is assumed that a considerable amount of pollutants and nutrients find their way into Chao Lake via groundwater flow, after they presumably leaked from defect sewage pipes or seeped into the groundwater directly from their source at the surface.
